KAIST korean electric vehicle project
“the electric vehicle picks up power from underground power supplier lines through the non-contact magnetic charging method, while either running or standing. […] in february 2009, KAIST researchers first proved that up to 80 percent power conveyance is possible through a gap of 1 centimeter from the power line, and in july they successfully supplied power to a bus – up to 60 percent across a 12 cm gap from the power line x embedded in the ground – using power supply and pick-up devices they developed.”
